Former India captain Virat Kohli will join a select list of Indian cricketers when he plays his 100th Test match in Mohali as India take on Sri Lanka in the first of the two-match Test series. Kohli is already one of the legends of the modern game and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly praised Kohli for his contribution to Indian cricket over the years.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday said that there will be no crowd restrictions in the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Mohali and the spectators will be allowed as per government directives. The Mohali Test will also be Virat Kohli's 100th game in the longest format. "Virat Kohli's 100th test match will have no restrictions. BCCI asks the state associations to open up on the basis of govt directives. It is as per the government norms," Ganguly told ANI.
Wriddhiman Saha episode. In fact many who don't are also aware of it, thanks to the many headlines that have been dedicated to this and of course with it trending on social media. The details are all public knowledge and that of course means that everyone has an opinion about it.
The BCCI in all likelihood will ask veteran keeper Wriddhiman Saha about his recent outburst after being dropped from the Indian team as it is in violation of protocols to be followed by a centrally contracted cricketer. The annual central contracts that players sign (Saha is in Group B with annual retainership of Rs 3 crore) has a clause 6.3, which apparently he has violated.
BCCI, in all likelihood, will ask veteran wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha about his recent outburst after being dropped from the Indian team as it is in violation of protocols to be followed by a centrally contracted cricketer. The annual central contracts that players sign (Saha is in Group B with annual retainership of Rs 3 crore) has a clause 6.3, which apparently he has violated. The clause 6.3 of players' central contract states: "Player shall not make any comments about the game, officials, incidents that happened in the game, use of technology, selection matters or any other matter related to the game which in opinion of the BCCI is adverse to and / or not in the interest of the game, team or BCCI in any media...."
Wriddhiman Saha on Tuesday took to Twitter to explained the reason behind why he is not revealing the name of the "journalist" who had sent "threatening" messages to him for saying no to an interview. Saha had, on Sunday, shared screenshot of messages he received from the "journalist" following the Indian selection committee's decision to drop him from the Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka.
Wriddhiman Saha had lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly. Saha claimed that BCCI president Ganguly, in a Whatsapp chat, had allegedly assured him a place in the team after his unbeaten 61 runs in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur in November. Now Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) secretary Snehashish Ganguly, who is the elder brother of BCCI president Sourav, came down heavily on Saha, saying the wicketkeeper probably made an error of judgement by publicly commenting on a private conversation.
The BCCI will ask out-of-favour senior keeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha about the context of his tweet which alleged that a journalist had threatened him for not agreeing to give an interview. Saha, 37, who has been dropped from Indian team, had taken to Twitter to allege that one "respected" journalist took an aggressive tone after his refusal to grant him an interview. After his tweet, former head coach Ravi Shastri, and former stars like Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh came out in his support and asked him to reveal the name of the journalist.
